Filling The Fuel Tank - Mitsubishi XPANDER HEV 2023 Manual

CAUTION
 Do not use more than 20 % concentration of
ethanol (grain alcohol) by volume.
Use of more than 20 % concentration may
lead to damage to your vehicle fuel system,
engine, engine sensors and exhaust system.
 Do not operate your vehicle on gasoline con-
taining methanol. Using this type of alcohol
could adversely affect the vehicle's perfor-
mance and damage critical parts of the vehi-
cle's fuel system.
NOTE
 Repeatedly driving short distance at low
speeds can cause deposits to form in the fuel
system and engine, resulting in poor starting
and poor acceleration. If these problems
occur, you are advised to add a detergent
additive to the gasoline when you refuel the
vehicle. The additive will remove the depos-
its, thereby returning the engine to a normal
condition. Be sure to use a MITSUBISHI
MOTORS GENUINE FUEL SYSTEM
CLEANER. Using an unsuitable additive
could make the engine malfunction. For
details, please contact the nearest authorised
MITSUBISHI MOTORS dealer.
NOTE
 Poor quality petrol can cause problems such
as hard starting, stalling, engine noise and
hesitation. If you experience these problems,
try another brand and/or grade of petrol.
If the check engine warning lamp illumi-
nates, have the system checked immediately
at an authorised MITSUBISHI MOTORS
dealer.

WARNING
 When handling fuel, comply with the
safety regulations displayed by garages
and filling stations.
 Fuel is highly flammable and explosive.
You could be burned or seriously injured
when handling it. When refuelling your
vehicle, always put the operation mode of
the power switch OFF and keep away
from flames, sparks, and smoking materi-
als. Always handle fuel in well-ventilated
outdoor areas.
 Before removing the fuel cap, be sure to
get rid of your body's static electricity by
touching a metal part of the car or fuel
pump. Any static electricity on your body
could create a spark that ignites fuel
vapour.
Filling the fuel tank
WARNING
 Perform the whole refuelling process
(opening the fuel tank filler door, remov-
ing the fuel cap, etc.) by yourself. Do not
let any other person come near the fuel
tank filler. If you allowed a person to help
you and that person was carrying static
electricity, fuel vapour could be ignited.
 Do not move away from the fuel tank filler
until refuelling is finished. If you moved
away and did something else (for example,
sitting on a seat) part-way through the
refuelling process, you could pick up a
fresh charge of static electricity.
 If the tank cap must be replaced, use only
a MITSUBISHI MOTORS genuine part.
